Amazon patents self-destructing drone that falls apart in an emergency

One of the big worries about delivery drones is what happens if something goes wrong mid-delivery, Amazon don’t want people’s parcels (or the drones carrying them) falling from the sky, causing damage and injury. Amazon are looking to design a safe way for them to fall if ti was to happen. The patent describes how an onboard “fragmentation controller” would take charge in the event of a catastrophic failure, like a battery exploding or propellor failing.granted a patent for the “direct fragmentation for unmanned airborne vehicles.” In other words: a drone that takes itself apart midair if something goes wrong.
